New Filarmonica - Its NOT me!
So, I got one of those beautiful nearly 8/8 Filarmonicas from Ray's Classic Shaving site... and I REALLY want to shave with it... but it has been over my Norton 4000/ 8000 like one gazillion times now and I JUST CANNOT GET IT SHARP!
It is not overhoned... I have checked it in the microscope. It IS pretty sharp.. just not sharp enough to actually shave with. I honed two other razors at the same time, and they both shave immaculately. So, its not my technique... because my Revisor and my Dovo that I honed at the SAME time are just fine...
I had this problem with one other razor of mine... that was ALSO big and heavy like the Filarmonica... no matter what I did, it just never got sharp enough. Finally, after trying for months, I sent it to Lynn, and he got it sharp over 95% of the blade... and I have been shaving with it.
So, what is the deal with heavy razors? What does it take for them to get sharp exactly?
